(a) (1) The Department shall promulgate by regulation
requirements that are necessary to ensure that aquaculture
operations do not adversely impact wild stocks of fish, including
measures for identifying fish as products of an aquaculture
operation. In developing these regulations, the Department shall
consult with the Aquaculture Advisory [Committee as provided in]
COMMITTEE, ESTABLISHED BY § 10-1302 of the Agriculture [Article]
ARTICLE, and incorporate in the regulations public notice
provisions in accordance with § 4-11A-06 of this subtitle.

DRAFTER'S NOTE:

Error: Omitted commas and obsolete language in §
4-llA-02(a)(1) of the Natural Resources Article.

Occurred: Ch. 534, Acts of 1988 was amended to remove
a provision from § 10-1302 of the Agriculture Article
concerning consultation between the Department of
Natural Resources and the Aquaculture Advisory
Committee. This Act revises the obsolete reference in
§ 4-llA-02(a)(1) of the Natural Resources Article by
noting the establishment of the Aquaculture Advisory
Committee in § 10-1302 of the Agriculture Article.

4-11A-04.

The Department may set aside for each tidewater public high
school no more than 5 acres of submerged barren tidewater lands
to be used for the sole purpose of experimental oyster farming or
for the cultivation of other shellfish in conjunction with
regular scholastic conservation studies. These areas shall be set
aside pursuant to the procedures established in § 4-1103 OF THIS
TITLE and marked in the manner provided in § 4-11A-10 of this
subtitle. These high schools may introduce and use modern methods
of planting, harvesting, or marketing fishery products without
regard to the restrictive provisions of this subtitle. If a
subject school does not use a barren bottom for its studies for
three years or if studies are discontinued, the submerged lands
shall revert to the State.

DRAFTER'S NOTE:

Error: Stylistic error in § 4-11A-04 of the Natural
Resources Article.
